Description

Course Overview

If you have ever dreamed of being that person that schedules meetings, organises appointments and activities, then this course is for you. Do you like attention to detail, to be organised and to organise other people? A Personal Assistant manages all of these tasks, and this short course consisting of only two units of competency might just be the edge you are looking for.

At AOT, we provide you with full access to our online virtual company to assist you to complete this short course.

View the units below to understand what each unit within this course offers and how each delivers specific skills and knowledge in a practical sense which you can relate to in business.

You will find that the documentation and templates within our virtual company reflect what you will find in business today, giving you a very real understanding of requirements. Upon successful completion of this Personal Assistant course, you will receive a Statement of Attainment in partial completion of the BSB40515 Certificate IV in Business Administration.

The two units of competency of this short administration course are two of the ten units that form the BSB40515 Certificate IV in Business Administration. This means that once you have completed this short course, you have already commenced a full Certificate IV qualification!

Course Assessment

You will be assessed for these units of competency using a variety of tasks to assess your understanding and skills. A virtual session means you will be one on one with your assessor either answering questions or taking part in a role play, just as you would do in any classroom, only we do it online.

All of our assessments are marked by your assessor within ten (10) working days following the day you submitted your work. You have three (3) attempts for each assessment task to achieve a satisfactory outcome (100% pass mark), with your assessor giving you detailed feedback following each submission.

The type of assessment used in each unit is listed below.
